p.s. I found the dies. the date on the seating die is 11-30-1972. my dad had this done as I was only 15 at the time. he had it built for long-range woodchucks.

That is one magnificent rifle. If I had that rifle I would probably never shoot it but every once in a while I would take it out of the gun case an marvel at the quality workmanship. The stock is quarter sawed Missouri walnut probably without a single flaw. The bolt is one piece, the receiver is forged, and the barrel has cut rifling. It sold for somewhere around $100 when it was new but I doubt if you could buy it today for less than $2,500 today. But then, $100 was a lot of money in 1944.

1954 Winchester Model 70 in 270 Winchester. My grandfather bought it for my father when he was 9. He gave it to me a few years ago. Scope and rings are modern put on by me.
He had an old scope mount system on it that would let him take one scope for two rifles with the wind-age and elevation integrated into the mount rather than turrets on the scope. When he gave it to me I let him keep the scope on his Browning 7mm Rem Mag and I put a new Leupold on the Winchester.

Reach out and touch you "over there" style. Turned 100 years old last December. Got lucky that this one received Elmer Keith's A-OK inspectors stamp, when he worked at the Ogden Arsenal post WW1. Still has original bluing, bore bright and shiny, shoots straight, built like a tank.
